John Newton (Christian Biographies for Young Readers)

“John Newton called himself a spectacle of gracea prime example to the world of Gods transforming power in the life of a hardened rebel. So I am thrilled to see the colorful drama of Newton get retold for another generation through the child-friendly storytelling skill of Simonetta Carr!”

“This is a well-researched and well-written summary of the colorful life of John Newton. It should capture the imagination of younger readers.”

“Do you love a really good story? Well, here is one! Simonetta Carr tells us about the extraordinary life of one our greatest hymn writers, John Newton. We can trace Gods hand on his path as a neglected youth, an ardent lover, an ill-treated servant, a reckless sailor, and a slave trader. At last we learn how he became one of our finest Christian preachers. Read it and find out.”
